I've played every one of the four major classes now to level 15, and I am by far most comfortable with Zero over every other class. Maybe it's because I prefer sniper rifles and got good with them, but Zero is the GOAT. You have a sniper tree - if you can headshot like a boss, you can obliterate everyone without worrying about anything. If people get close, go ghost, run back, lob a grenade, and create some distance. I continuously die way less than anyone else I play with, who all roll Axton, cept one guy rolling a Gunzerker, (and he dies constantly). Just use range to your advantage, that's all. It's even easier solo than in a group, can play at your own pace.

I could see how Zero maxed out is one of if not the best character. Maya seems like she would be the weakest from a solo standpoint, her skill tree, the middle one in particular makes her seem like shes meant to be a Party support character.

Axton is still my boy though. You can pretty much build him to be nearly unstoppable with the right skills.

Yeah if you are playing with friends I could see that. But solo as Zer0? It's fucking hard on the upper levels. When you have no friends to distract the enemies while you snipe them... good fucking luck. haha

Right now I'm in Lynchwood trying to do the Bane quest and holy fuck is it hard. Especially when people rush you. I love the challenge though. I beat the game fairly easy with Axton as his turret is ridiculously over powered. You get in trouble from a rushing crowd. Just throw your turret and you're good. Not with Zer0 though. That's what makes me enjoy Zer0 more than Axton. I love the challenge.

Karma, on the health regen... just get a health regen mod and a transfusion grenade and you're all good.
